[ She's actually not in the apartment. Pepper has been there off and on throughout the week, but it's nothing entirely permanent. She's found a steady routine that keeps her busy 24/7, so she's leaving CM with the intent to meet with Jules and figure out...things. Anxiety shows itself the closer she gets to that little cafe, and she pauses just outside, taking a breath before letting herself in.
As personable as she likes to think she is, she's never had many friends. Because of work, because of other things beyond her control. So, it'd been disheartening to lose Jules in that way. Learn things she hadn't known, feel lied to for something that must have been necessity. Pepper doesn't understand, but she wants to. It's only fair, after all.
She tries for a smile, but it falters when she reaches the booth the other woman sits at. ] Hi, Jules.
